This half term our main topic will be Heroes.

We will be learning about Florence Nightingale and how she was a hero from the past.

We will be using the film ‘The Incredibles’ as a stimulus for our writing.

In Science we are going to be exploring different materials.

Our RE lessons will focus on learning about the festival of Easter.

In Art we will be exploring the work of Georgia O’Keefe.

The children will have a daily Read, Write Inc lesson or a Literacy lesson and a Numeracy lesson. We will do Guided Reading on a weekly basis where the children will read in a group with other children of the same ability and focus on their understanding of what they have read.

Children who are in Mrs Wheatley’s and Mrs Boswell’s literacy group will have spellings given to them to learn on a Thursday, then will be tested the following week.

Many thanks for your support,

Mrs R Wheatley & Mrs M Boswell

The who’s who of class 2!

Mrs Wheatley is the classteacher on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday.

Mrs Boswell is the classteacher on Thursday & Friday.

Mrs Cowling is the classroom assistant.

What did you do at school today?... PLAY!

During their first year at school children undertake much of their learning through play and as they move into class 2 this is still very important. The classroom is organised in a very similar way to a reception classroom with different learning zones such as construction, sand, water, role play, writing, outdoor play etc. Just as in reception the day is structured to include direct teaching opportunities either as a whole class or in small groups as well as structured play. As the year progresses and it is appropriate for the needs of the children, the amount of direct teaching time increases.
